ServiceNow Access the active flag from a client side script (g_scratchpad)

 

Display business rule:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

    // --RDS Feb2018 chg enhancements
    //-- set scratchpad(s) which can then be used in client scripting/UI Policy scripts
    g_scratchpad.chg_active=current.active;


})(current, previous);


Client script:

alert(g_scratchpad.chg_active);

//--seems to save scratchpad as a string, hence use:
if(g_scratchpad.chg_active=='true'){

}

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
